The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awarded All Over But to Cry with an Emmy at the 34th annual Suncoast Emmy awards gala in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on December 4. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognizes excellence in television with its annual Emmy award competition.
All Over But To Cry is an intimate and stunning account of the day in 1957 when Hurricane Audrey smashed into the Cajun communities of Southwest Louisiana, bringing a massive tidal wave and killing an estimated 500 people. Survivors describe clinging to trees and rooftops, floating on a refrigerator through the Gulf, and watching loved ones drown.
Jennifer John Block and Jake Springfield spent two years producing the film, which was completed in May 2009. The documentary started as an oral history project for the National Hurricane Museum and Science Center, a derivative of the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road. The All Over But To Cry DVD is currently on sale in the Lake Charles/Southwest Louisiana Convention & Visitors Bureau's gift shop for $20.
Block and Springfield recently signed a deal with EBS World Entertainment to distribute the film to international television markets. The team is working with Circus Road Films on North American distribution.
All Over But to Cry also won 2010 Humanities Documentary Film of the Year from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities as well as Best Documentary Feature at the 2010 Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival in Lafayette, La. The film was an Official Selection at the 2009 Atlantic Film Festival in Nova Scotia. Times-Picayune movie critic Mike Scott praised All Over But to Cry, calling it "powerful, gripping stuff, a story worthy of HollywoodÑand can't miss cinema for local residents". Scott ranked the film among the "10 Great Docs from 2009" which included national and international documentary films, as well as among "Top 10 New Orleans Films".
